"Lia Nautilus may be a Mermaid, but she's never lived in the ocean. Ever since the infamous Little Mermaid unleashed a curse that stripped Mer of their immortality, war has ravaged the Seven Seas. Now Lia lives in a secret community of land-dwelling Mer hidden among Malibu's seaside mansions and attends high school with humans. To protect everyone around her, she must limit contact with non-Mer. No exceptions. But when the new girl sets her sights on Lia's crush, she will risk exposing her deadly secret to stop him from falling for the wrong girl."--Page 4 of cover.
